What a distinctive crab! Hey, I'm going to put this under the Arthropod category for you. Best

It took a while to find this ID. This crab is different from Christmas Island red crabs. The white periscope eyes are the distinguishing characteristic I was looking for. http://www.flickr.com/photos/oum/2547947859/ has a good definition, most complete I could find.
